Anyone who’s soldiered through a first trimester just might be able to relate to the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt actress’s pregnancy woes. We feel ya, girl.
Think the upside of pregnancy is that it’ll give you a respite from pesky hangovers? Think again. According to actress Ellie Kemper, pregnancy is a lot like a constant hangover.
The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star, who is expecting her first child, came clean about her pregnancy experience during an experience on The Today Show. “It’s just like a constant hangover,” she joked.
The one upside (or downside, depending on how you look at it) is that pregnancy has helped Ellie kick her ice cream addiction. According to the star, the most surprising thing about pregnancy has been an absence of cravings for the quintessential pregnancy treat. Then again, that aversion seemed to overturn when she was handed an entire tray of her favorite ice cream on the show.
A changed relationship to ice cream isn’t the only surprising thing about Ellie’s pregnancy: The actress revealed that she won’t learn her baby’s sex ahead of time, despite the fact that she has the answer at her fingertips.
“We are not finding out—isn’t it wonderful?” she said. “We have it in an envelope, actually. But I haven’t looked!”
